Testimonials

See what our students and parents have been saying.

Passion, warmth and professionalism are the key ingredients that make the Test Valley School of Dance the best place to be. My daughter attends a wide variety of classes and loves every one. She has gained confidence and improved her technique dramatically over the last 18 months under the thorough but nurturing guidance of Miss Hannah.

Sarah Knott

I love Miss Hannah’s classes and feel that I have really improved since I started at Test Valley School of Dance. Miss Hannah is a great teacher and I really enjoy every one of her classes.

TVD Teaching Assistant - age 14

Katherine loves her ballet classes and always wants to put on a ballet show at home during the week to practice.
Thank you Miss Hannah for all the effort you put into the classes and the care you take of our young dancers.

Laura Taylor

I love going to ballet because we learn really special dances. I love all the costumes. Miss Hannah is really nice to us.

Katherine Taylor
Age 7

Adult ballet is relaxed and informal and all ages are welcome from 18 to over 60! Over the term we master different steps and ballet moves culminating in sequences and simple dances by the end of term. Ballet has helped me to become more aware of my posture and it is great for switching off after a busy day at work - you need to concentrate in order to learn the steps!

Frances King

I have been attending Hannah's Zumba class for nearly 2 years and I love it.
I look forward to going every week and it's great to do exercise and enjoy it. Classes are always fun!

Kyrsty Jones

Hannah’s Ballet class is a relaxed class for all ages and abilities. I've been going for about nine months and love it as I can exercise and have a laugh (me getting it wrong). For me ballet is a much more enjoyable way to tone the legs compared to the tedium of a cross trainer at the gym.

Sharon Cross

Louise joined Mini Ballet and is now in the Pre-Primary class and has loved it from Day 1! Miss Hannah has the ability to capture the attention and imagination of even the youngest girls and her method of teaching has seen Louise’s ballet movements and physical ability develop in leaps and bounds. Miss Hannah’s love of teaching ballet shines through in all she does and as a result, Louise cannot wait for her lessons

Miss Hannah Harrison

Since leaving the internationally acclaimed Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance, Miss Hannah has taught for numerous dance schools. She employs an energetic, enthusiastic approach to teaching, ensuring each pupil receives individual attention and that all students benefit from absorbing essential dance technique in a fun, stimulating and professional environment.

“My foremost passion in life is DANCE; to learn, watch, train and perform. I am very rarely spotted standing still! I am considerably fortunate to have been taught by some amazing teachers, both during my school days and also in recent years, and those people continue to be an inspiration to me as I embark on this exciting journey with my own dance school. Dance, for me is not only a means of expression, it’s part of me, without it I do not feel complete and my ambition at the Test Valley School of Dance is to inspire my students and ignite a passion for dance which will remain with them as a source of comfort and celebration forever”
